Building Walls. (graduation work)

Project

  • 01-04-2020 t/m 17-07-2020
  • In samenwerking met: -
  • Locatie: Rotterdam, Rotterdam
  • By copying / recontextualizing materials and objects from the municipality, it is possible to place something in public space. This creates confusion as to whether or not it should be. I therefore posed as a project leader to place a "wall" in public space. In this way, the municipality thinks it "belongs" and I provide a wall where autonomous street art can be applied without the artist knowing that it is an art installation I created.

Framed Rules (Minor)

Project

  • 21-11-2019
  • In samenwerking met: -
  • Locatie: Rotterdam, Rotterdam
  • Framed Rules is an art installation in public space, placed on November 21, 2019 in the Museumpark in Rotterdam. I copied a board design from the government and changed the context to inform the viewer about the rules that art in the public space must comply with. The art-work Framed Rules is a work of art that deals with art in public spaces to reflect on art in public spaces.
